Dr. Lee is the only doctor for my family until he retires or we move. I take my wife and two children to him and we've had nothing but great experiences with him, so I'm shocked by the mediocre reviews. It seems they poor reviews are from older, disgruntled patients (or one with multiple reviews?). As for being greedy, that's not what I've observed: I've witnessed him give tons of free samples to people that don't have insurance or can afford it. Like the previous review, I have no problems paying for my co-pay for a follow-up even for a prescription re-fill; It's his time and I would think doctors wouldn't give out prescriptions (particularly painkillers) without a follow-up evaluation. Overall, I don't think he shouldn't differ from other doctors in that respect. In conclusion, Dr. Lee is better than other doctors in most respects and no worse in his worst criticisms. Oh, and I love the new(ish) receptionist, Tricia. She's the best!

Dr. Lee will be only doctor unless I move or he retires. I have experienced some annoyances with scheduling (some of the older patients appear earlier than their appointments and get seen earlier), but I like that I can be accommodated the same day if I have a medical emergency. As for quality of care, I have never had a doctor show such genuine concern. For me, he's always been spot-on on treatment and I'll be up and about in a few days. Of course, there is a bit of a language barrier (more the accent), but I've never had a problem understanding the gist of what he's saying. Overall, I'm surprised by the bad reviews, but they seem to be older reviews and more driven by financial concerns. Frankly, I have no problems coming in a week later and pay my $10 co-pay if follow-up is necessary. He's running a business, after all, and it's no different from other doctor offices. It seems that there are varied experiences here. However, I won't go anywhere else...

Our family has been going to Dr. Lee for over fifteen years and we'd never trust anyone else. I'm completely dismayed by some of the other reviews, so I felt compelled to write about my experience with Dr. Lee. I'll admit he does come across as a bit stand-offish, but I've found that to be a wrong impression. He was quite caring and comforting when my elderly mother was in the hospital two years ago and I'll always appreciate that. As far as being greedy, I can't find that farther from the truth in my opinion. I'm not sure if some of these reviews are even regarding the same Dr. Lee that's our doctor...

I was a patient for YEARS.I went to him feeling tired for a year and a simple iron blood test would of shown I was deathly ill and bloated. I asked for a water pill he said no I didnt need it, I went into the hospital for a procedure and ended up on a ventalator with PULMONARY EDEMA FOR 9 DAYS AS THEY SUCKED THE WATER FROM MY LUNGS, I shouldnt be here, Dr.Lee, retire.

Dr. Lee is extremely rude, greedy and insensible. It is obvious he only cares about getting your co-payments and any insurance billing he can justify. I am embarrassed to say I have been a patient for years...only due to my own laziness. He is unwilling to refill monthly medical required prescriptions without another office visit charge/insurance billing. When questioning him or disagreeing, he has walked out of the office or hung up on me. He has made mistakes and instead of apologizing or waiving any additional fees...you are required to pay again before he examines you. His lack of respect to his patients is hurtful and appalling; he should be ashamed of himself. I am finally changing doctors before I pay with my life.

I've been having Dr. Lee over 10 years and I am happy with him. The appointments are always on time. Whenever you have a question, you can always reach the doctor through the phone. I have Aetna and his office takes care of the claims. Of course, I never had any life threatening situations so cannot speak for those cases.

I and my family is using him form last 10 years. He is very greedy. My wife Last visit 10 days back was horrible, He gave her wrong medicine which gave her acute skin irritation and she visited him again to pay again for the mistake he made. He do not pay proper attention to the patient and is more interested in getting the money from the visit rather than treating the person. For me he missed my acute conditions and I ended up in a hospital. I am looking for a change and in search of dcotor. Some time I think that he is real useless doctor playing with our health care needs. WE ARE NOT GOING TO VISIT HIM AGAIN AND recommend other to be extra cautioned about this DUMMY Doctor

If you have an infection and need an antibiotic or something minor I would say it is ok to go. I was his patient for many years and he missed not one but two life threatening illnesses that were only discovered when I went to another Dr. It puzzles me because I was complaining and giving him my symptoms for over a year. I foolishly put too much trust in him and was let down. Why I didn't switch dr.s sooner was that I just didn't know any better and feel it is my obligation to warn others. Hindsight is always 20/20. Another big turn off was the constant parade of pharmaceutacal reps that go thru his office on any given day. I never saw anything like it, they were constantly coming and going and he was squeezing them in between patients. I guess it is a good thing as far as a vast supply of free samples of medications which he will gladly give you to save you on your rx plan, but they were constantly present in his office. Just plain wrong.
